Great to meet everyone at today's CCPN meeting. Interestingly, as we met about
work-life balance, a book called 'Womenomics' was launched today. It speaks very
highly of women's value in the workplace and our power to ask for the
flexibility that we need to balance work and family.

Here's a feature on Good Morning America:

For those of you who still maintain resource areas / career libraries,
what do you do to reduce the number of materials that disappear?

We currently allow free copies of limited pages of the books, but we still

Hello,

I am new to higher education and my employer would like me to go to a conference
or a learning seminar so I can develop professionally. Do any of you have
suggestions or websites I can do some research on?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Sara Hassan

Hi Everyone:

First, I wanted everyone to know about a free webinar sponsored by LinkedIn on
how you can utilize LinkedIn better with your students and alumni. Here is the
addy with the information:

http://careerservices.linkedin.com/webinar/


Second, I am looking for recommendations on a consultant to come in and work
with our department.  Name, Phone number and email and maybe a small blurb on
your experience would be wonderful.

We're looking for someone to come in, assess our situation and needs and provide
recommendations both to us and the higher level administration. We'd be looking
for both verbal and written recommendations.

We're gaining a career counselor now that our services have been reshuffled and
all career related services will be housed under us. The current career
counselor has retired after 35 years on campus.

We're also losing another staff member to retirement in December. Her position
will be entirely rewritten and redone to move it from a Civil Service Bachelor's
required position to a Administration position that requires a Masters Degree.

Strategic planning suggestions will also be helpful.

In other words, we're going through a lot of changes and guidance would be
appreciated!

Last, here is the info on the next GCRC meeting in case anyone missed it - It's
at US Cellular this time. Despite being a blue blooded Cubs fan, I'll be there.
Here's the info:
